Pearl Street Pub introduces Sunday wing promotion

The Pearl Street Pub in downtown Albany has launched a promotion called Wing Sunday. From noon to 8 p.m. Sundays, chicken wings are 60 cents apiece — a savings of 20 percent over a normal order of a dozen for $9 — and there will be beer specials weekly. Available wing sauces include Pineapple Express, mild, medium, hot, Asian, garlic Parm and Buffalo ranch.

I really try and not comment on things regarding my establishments but It never ceases to amaze me how negative people can be. Hey “brunch” you have no idea what goes on downtown on a Sunday in my place. I have been open on Sundays for the past 4 years and, for the most part, it has been profitable. So please reserve your judgment without having the facts. As far as one person on Sunday, my bartender Erica is a single Mom who works hard and is very pleasant on the floor. She has the ability to handle the bar and the floor with ease. The wing deal is eat in only btw.

Based on information from the Barnes’ blog I ventured down on Sunday around 1:45PM to the PSP to give their wings a try. Outside was a chalkboard sign advertising the Sunday Wing Special…however it said the special did not start until 3PM. I went back home.

Employee error…right. If you saw the sign, like I did, it was wedged in there (wish I took a picture). I for one would imagine it was added after someone realized there was a Siena game at 2pm on Sunday and they might get business WITHOUT the promotion.

“employee error”? Now there’s a euphemism. Either someone was a moron and got the time frames totally wrong, the cook deliberately delayed preparing batches of wings for 3 hours beyond advertised time and lost business for the establishment as a result or the place simply doesn’t have it’s act together. And, despite “G”‘s tireless boosterism of downtown, people wonder why no one wants to come to Pearl Street on Sundays? No big mystery.

brunch revisited – What ax do you have to grind with PSP and Pearl St? It seems you’ve made it your mission in this thread to convince everyone how terrible Pearl St and the PSP are, even going so far as to make insulting and snarky comments to someone who actually enjoys the wings and the promotion. What does it matter to you? You seem to take personal offense that PSP even has this promotion and someone may want to go there. Why are you so emotionally invested in making sure everyone knows it should be a failure? If you don’t like the place for whatever reason, don’t go. Its very simple. Let the people who enjoy it, enjoy it.

NB, where did I say the Pearl St Pub was terrible? The special is terrible, and having it on the worst day of the week is a huge waste of time, and a bad business move.

Maybe you should re-read the other posts on this thread. All the posters seem to agree that Pearl St is dead, and a wing night (that I guesss the “single Mom” screwed up?) that wasn’t even in effect on it’s 1st night, isn’t the answer.

G will even drive to AP to get a %5.50 order of wings instead.
